Young Jessie - Hit Git & Split

Limited 180 gm color vinyl LP pressing. Features the original LP notes by Ray Topping, now updated and fully illustrated. The inner bag features a specially written essay by Ted Carroll which relates the story of how he came to set up a gig back in the '80s in London featuring a mixed bill of R&B stars, of whom Young Jessie was a main attraction. Updated version of the seminal 1982 Ace album from the still active Young (Obediah) Jessie. When first issued not many were aware of Young Jessie and this album built him a legion of fans among the then teens of the Camden (and beyond) Rockin' circuit. Nowadays, he has been taken up by the New Breed crowd and they are going to love this one. Rockin' rollin' R&B as sharp as the crease on a well-tailored pair of peg pants.
